When I get back I want to investigate some of the other services out there to see if they can be integrated in. One thing that just a day of running has shown me is that NiceHash is no longer the dominant player. I've been switching between NiceHash, TradeMyBit, and YAAMP regularly with the controller. It would be interesting to see if these other pools are in the same ballpark.

It was a parsing error in the program. It would hit an entry it didn't expect and stop parsing at that point. The API appears to return results in a random order so the unknown value could be hit at any point in the lsit and everything after it will be ignored. Fixed now.Download: http://stuffofinterest.com/MinerControl/MinerControl-1.0.2.zip

Nice work on cranking out some more fixes before you leave. Have a great trip!

Does anyone have the necessary .conf settings for a Radeon 280x? I've been through pages upon pages of the old NiceHash Control Tool as well as throughout this posting but don't seem to be able to find a .conf setup that works. Everything pulls prices, but when attempting to start SGMiner nothing happens - even with the correct directory structures set using \\ to separate heirarchy.

If someone would be willing to post which miner they are using for AMD, and their appropriate .conf files that would be absolutely amazing!

I think you're looking in the wrong place. It sounds like your miner configuration settings are wrong, so this has nothing to do with NHC or MinerControl settings. I suggest checking SGminer support pages, or even the included help info in the miner app, to find the right settings for your 280x. They'll usually be some command-line switches, and the best way to test if you have the settings right, is to try using SGminer stand-alone (with no other programs or apps, just by itself) to mine in a pool (any random one will do). If it mines successfully, at a decent rate for your card, then you've got the settings right. Then use those settings for the miner launch in NHC or MinerControl.

It's for a 270, change to fit your speed.I use 1 conf for each algo / pool, but you can choose to not use .conf and give every option as parameter to sgminer if you prefer long line for the folder structure I use: Minercontrol, and inside a folder sgminer where there is sgminer.exe and all the .conf

I went ahead last night and sorted through the code with a few references for your example. This configuration included all pools with all coins, uses the official sgminer 5.0 from nice/westhash, and successfully pulls all information as well as launches appropriate versions of each miner. Configuration for Radeon r9 280x X2.

Make sure if you use this to change the directory structure to point to your associated miner's for each coin- Besides that just punch in your BTC address and your account name/api key where necessary and you're up and running.

On one client using Windows XP, MinerControl crashes so badly that I can't even read the exception error in the Framework windows. It starts OK, and it crashes while changing algo. On all the other WinXP clients works flawlessly. I'll reinstall the .NET framework 4.0 again on that one, to see if it helps. Any idea what might cause the crash?

If the crash only happens while switching algorithms then it may be a driver crash from the fast switching. One person reported this same issue with NHC. I plan to put a start delay option in but until that time you could do it your self with a batch file rhat calls a sleep command before launching the miner.

See if you can cause the crash manually by using one of the algo start buttons, hit stop, and as soon as the buttons appear hit another algo start button.

It appears that it's happening when killing an miner, i've tried it also manually and it won't kill the miner. It just sits until framework crash. I've tried with nvminer/ccminer, checked the file permissions, seems all ok. I think something like this was happening also with NCH a while back, then you've released a new version and it was working fine.

The code I used for a fix in NHC is the same used now. Even a bit better as it catches errors when killing processes. Not sure what is happening now. If it is in the process killer then you should see the same effect using the stop button.

Today when I woke up and checked my rig I found out that Miner control had crashed, but the miner was still running...

You're not alone, happens to me also Crashes on windows XP and on 8.1 occasionally.

When I get back I'm going to wrap the whole kill/start cycle in a try/catch. Something is getting fouled up out there in a place I haven't seen before. Also plan to add some error logging in so there will be something to diagnose with.

Just put out version 1.0.3. Only difference is wrapping the entire kill/start cycle in an error trap and adding a config option to log all errors in the application. If the people having problems can create and send me a copy of the error.log file it will help in figuring out what is happening.
